I started this a few weeks back and finished it a couple of weeks ago. The picture isnt' the best and it doesn't let you see the true colors. It is brightly colored with shades of purples, oranges and reds. I was inspired to make this for Grandbaby by my friend GibKnitty. It was quick and fun to make. I did make a few adjustments to the original pattern. I ribbed the ends of the sleeves because it makes it easier to roll the sleeves up and keep them up. Sometimes sleeves are a little long for Grandbaby. I also didn't garter stitch the hood as the pattern called for. I like the way the hood looks with the garter stitch border, it flows with the sweater. Any way, I like it and will definitely knit this again.
I think I need to start another one for a gift soon. That means I get to go pick out yarn - yippee!!
it looks so great! i like your idea about the ribbing on the cuffs. i am currently making a little baby kimono sweater that i will share on my blog soon when it is done.
